Inkspirational Challenge - Prompt Word - Wild

Hi everyone! Are you ready for a new, fun challenge? Well, we've got one over at Inkspirational! The challenge this time is a prompt word. The word is Wild.

All sorts of fun things can be associated with that word! I interpreted it in three different ways. Take a look...

So I've got the word, Wild (obviously), a wild animal print and wild neon colours! This card was easy to make and a lot of fun. First, I printed off a zebra stripe pattern I found online onto white cardstock. Then, I die cut my letters using my Slice machine (I don't have any letter dies yet for my Evolution). I sponged on some of my Hero Arts neon ink (orange to pink to blue to green) overlapping the colours a bit to blend nicely. I chose the order of the colours for a very specific reason too. Some colours blend nicely together to create another colour. Others don't blend together well at all. So if I tried to blend orange and blue or pink and green, while complimentary, they blend into a muddy colour which isn't super pleasing to the eye. It's just some basic colour theory really. Once that was done, I arranged my letters on my white panel and adhered them down. Then I stamped the rest of the sentiment (STAMPlorations) in black. Lastly, I attached my panel to my card base with some foam dots.

I hope you'll all go on over to Ink and check out the other DT projects. As usual, they are all so fabulous! We've also got a fabulous guest designer joining us too. Please leave some love for Jenny of My Paper Epiphany. I hope to see you playing along as well.

So simple, so fantastic and soooo WILD! It has never occurred to me to get some black/white pattern from the internet, print it out and then sponge/blend colour it. And now it just seems to plainly (smacking my forehead) obvious! Kim, I tell you, I always get some great inspiration from you :o)

About Me

I'm a SAHM just trying to stay sane by any means possible. I will pretty much try anything crafty. I have a B.A. In Fine Arts and specialized in painting. I have tried my hand at many types of arts and crafts like, stained glass, lithography, scrapbooking, rubber stamping, cake decorating, and much more. There are a lot of things I still want to try. I would have to say that my two favourites are card making and painting.
